Abstract

A patching system is disclosed herein. The patching system includes a plurality of front-loaded patching modules positionable within a chassis. Each of the patching modules includes first and second longframe jack assemblies and a switch for changing the circuit configurations of the patching module.
The patching modules and the chassis provide increased patching density.

Claims (22)

1. A patching module, comprising:
a housing defining a first port and a second port;
a first longframe jack assembly positioned adjacent to the first port, the first longframe jack assembly including a first spring arrangement supported by the housing;
a second longframe jack assembly positioned adjacent to the second port, the second longframe jack assembly including a second spring arrangement supported by the housing;
wherein each of the first and second ports is sized to receive a longframe patch cord plug.
2. The patching module of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second ports has a diameter, the diameter being approximately .25 inches.
3. The patching module of claim 1, wherein the housing is made of a dielectric material.
4. The patching module of claim 1, wherein the housing includes at least one snap-fit connection configured to secure the housing to a chassis.
5. The patching module of claim 1, further including a switching device for changing a circuit configuration of the first and second longframe jack assemblies between a no-normal configuration, a full-normal configuration, and a half-normal configuration.
6. The patching module of claim 5, wherein the switching device includes a plurality of two-position switches.
7. The patching module of claim 1, further including a rear connector electrically connected to the first and second longframe jack assemblies.
8. The patching module of claim 7, wherein the rear connector is electrically connected to the first and second longframe by a printed circuit board.
9. A patching system, comprising:
a chassis having a front and a rear, the front defining a front opening;
a plurality of front-loaded patching modules positioned within the front opening of the chassis, each of the patching modules including:
a first longframe jack assembly; and a second longframe jack assembly; and a plurality of rear connectors located at the rear of the chassis, the rear connectors being electrically connected to the front-loaded patching modules.
10. The patching system of claim 9, wherein each of the patching modules includes a housing defining a first port and a second port, the first and second ports being sized to receive a longframe patch cord plug.
11. The patching system of claim 10, wherein the first longframe jack assembly is positioned adjacent to the first port, and the second longframe jack assembly is positioned adjacent to the second port.
12. The patching system of claim 10, wherein each of the first and second ports has a diameter of approximately .25 inches.
13. The patching system of claim 10, wherein the housing is made of a dielectric material.
14. The patching system of claim 10, wherein the housing includes at least one snap-fit connection configured to secure the patching module within the front opening of the chassis.
15. The patching system of claim 9, wherein each of the plurality of front-loaded patching modules has a center-to-center spacing equal to or less than 0.5 inches.
16. The patching system of claim 15, wherein each of the plurality of front-loaded patching modules has a center-to-center spacing equal to or less than 0.4 inches.
17. The patching system of claim 9, wherein the plurality of front-located patching modules includes at least 30 patching modules positioned within the front opening of the chassis.
18. The patching system of claim 17, wherein the plurality of front-loaded patching modules includes at least 32 patching modules positioned within the front opening of the chassis.
19. The patching system of claim 9, wherein the front of the chassis defines a front height, and the front opening of the chassis defines an opening height, the ratio of the front height to the opening height being no more than 1.8 to 1.
20. The patching system of claim 19, wherein the front of the chassis defines a front height, and the front opening of the chassis defines an opening height, the ratio of the front height to the opening height being no more than about 1.4 to 1.
21. The patching system of claim 9, wherein the chassis is configured to occupy at most one rack unit of a telecommunications rack.
22. The patching system of claim 21, wherein the front opening of the chassis is equal to or greater than about 1.25 inches.
